Shouldn't be more than $5 million, maybe even less. Adds depth to the rotation options and if he doesn't make the rotation, can be plugged right into the bullpen easily. So depending on the money which I expect $3-5M for 1 year, I like the move for the Cubs. If he starts I think he is somewhere with an ERA around 4.2-4.5 and if the bullpen somewhere around 3.8-4.1. Good deal.

Sounds like or is as it stands on November 27th? His offseason hasn't even really started.

Doesn't make much sense to go signing a handful of pitchers like Baker and Feldman to deals that max out around $7-$8m just to have them toil in middle relief, when the one thing we've got, are some MR prospects who are ML ready.

I was fine with one of these types + a better SP. I'm not so certain how excited I am about a few of these guys filling out the rotation. They offer, neither, upside above mid-roation guys nor should they fetch a nice return at the deadline.

They're boring and necessary moves on their own. Together, I find the Baker and Feldman deals to be somewhat redundant.
